The “Lindt chocolate gold bunny car” also made a guest appearance.Bootmobile Driver, Eric Smith, said “We’ve been all over the country. It’s like bringing a piece of Maine wherever we go. The LL Bean boot is not only an icon it’s also an icon of Maine for the last 100 years. So to be able to show that off in other parts of the country but also to show if off here in our hometown and also have our friends came with their cars too, its just a great day.”
